Dolby Surround Pro Logic decoder. This will provide you with three audio
channels in the front and a mono surround channel.
• To take full advantage of Dolby Digital programming, connect the SAT-A65
digital audio output to an external 5.1-channel Dolby Digital decoder or
receiver. This provides you with three front channels, two independent
surround channels, and a sub-woofer channel.
1. Connect the satellite antenna RG-6 coaxial cable to the DIRECTV
Receiver’s
SATELLITE IN jack.
2. Connect the DIRECTV Receiver’s
A/V jacks to the VCR and A/V receiver’s
A/V jacks.
3. AUX, optical connection, and digital output connections – If your audio
receiver has coaxial or optical digital connectors, connect the appropriate
type of cable to the DIRECTV Receiver’s
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (SAT-A65
only) for two-channel digital stereo. If your A/V receiver is also capable of
decoding Dolby Digital, use this connection in order to listen in full
5.1-channel surround sound. Additional audio information begins on
page 20.
4. Connect the VCR’s
A/V OUT jacks to a pair of the A/V receiver’s A/V IN
jacks.
5. Connect the A/V receiver’s MONITOR OUT jack to the TV’s VIDEO IN
jack.
6. Plug the components into an electrical outlet.
Note: If you have connected a VCR to your entertainment system in a way
that routes the satellite receiver’s signal to your VCR before it reaches the
TV, you may see a distorted picture if you try to record a copy-protected
program. A Can’t Tape symbol in the screen banner identifies these
programs. If this occurs, simply stop recording and the picture will
automatically correct itself.
